God's Power and Impartial Justice

Job 36:5-15

Lo, God is mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty in power and heart.

He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;

He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And from kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,

And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,

Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,

And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity.

If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness.

And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge.

And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound them.

Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the defiled.

He draweth out the afflicted in his affliction, And uncovereth in oppression their ear.
